Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Electron configuration of an element indicates its arrangement of electrons in atomic orbitals, e.g., 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².
- Cations form when neutral atoms lose electrons; for example, a neutral calcium atom loses two electrons to form a Ca²⁺ ion, resulting in 18 electrons.
- The uncertainty principle states that the position of an electron in an electron cloud cannot be precisely determined, developed by Werner Heisenberg.
- Atomic mass of calcium is approximately 40, with 20 protons and 20 neutrons, confirming the identity of an atom of calcium as Element 1.
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties include combustibility, flammability, and reactivity.
- Reactivity trends: increases down a group and decreases from left to right across the period.
- Elements in Group 14 have the electron configuration ns²p², indicating their valence shell arrangement.
Periodic Table Trends
- Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table; they tend to react with halogens.
- Noble gases possess complete valence shells and are unreactive under standard conditions.
- Within Group 17, physical states of elements (Cl as gas, Br as liquid, I as solid) demonstrate that melting points increase from top to bottom.
Electron Configuration and Valence Electrons
- Chlorine forms a Cl⁻ ion, having gained one electron, leading to a total of 18 electrons matching the configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.
- Carbon is characterized by having four valence electrons, making it a crucial element for organic chemistry.
Isotopes and Atomic Structure
- Isotopes differ in mass number due to variations in neutrons; for example, sulfur-34 has more neutrons than sulfur-32.
- Air is classified as a mixture, distinct from pure substances like glucose or distilled water.
Additional Concepts
- Understanding electron configuration assists with predicting an element's behavior in chemical reactions.
- Knowledge of groups in the periodic table aids in identifying similar chemical properties among elements.
